Chapter 934: 15.151

'Temple of White Jade— Bai Shijue, God of Prosperity.'

Bai Yunyu's jaw dropped once he saw the big writing. It wasn't even trying to be lowkey with a grandeur gate made out of white jade. The temple that had lots of ornaments made out of gold, showing how devoted the followers who worshipped this God called Bai were Shijue, God of Prosperity. 

[Wow, who is this God of Prosperity again? The last time I remembered, I was a humble man who had to eat cup noodles for one week straight because I spent all my money buying Han Ye Gege a birthday gift and cake.]

[Pupa: Which he threw right on your face and stomped on your hard-earned birthday gift.]

[Hey! No need to rub the salt on my wound!]

Yunyu was still invisible as he climbed the stair with the rest of the worshippers. Of course, he wasn't exactly climbing. He was more of floating upwards slowly. Yunyu wanted to check the expression of the people.

[Wait, they don't look scared at all! I thought this temple might be something used by the local tyrant to control the masses. They would use the 'Mandate of Heaven' or whatever to do anything as they please!]

[But these people… actually look happy?]

Yunyu was confused. Why would anyone worship him in this world? What kind of good deeds he did do in this place?

[Honestly, though, all I did here is raise Han Shun…]

[Pupa: And he turned out to be evil now.]

[Pupa, are you still jealous because I only give all my attention to Han Shun?]

[Awww, Pupa hubby, don't be jealous. My heart is only yours.]

Yunyu wanted to hug Pupa, but Pupa smacked his face with its metallic shell. 

[Ouch! Husband, you're so mean!]

[Pupa: I made a grave mistake of returning to you. Should've taken my unpaid leave longer.]

[Hey, that's so mean!]

Yunyu, Pupa, and Chinchin, busy eating peanuts, walked into the grandeur temple for this God of Prosperity. It was crowded with people kowtowing as they prayed in front of a giant statue made of white jade.

And that giant white jade statue was actually Bai Yunyu— in the form of Bai Shijue, of course. However, there was no gold offering, which should be very common in this era. 

Usually, in order to pray to a deity, one must give a suitable offering, hoping that the God was happy with the offering and, in exchange, gave them the God's blessing. 

But in front of his statue was no gold offering, not even cattle or flowers at least!

[What the— where are all my golds? Where is my offering? Why am I not given anything when they're praying for me!?]

[Pupa: … I thought you said you're but a humble man about an hour ago.]

[B—But this is different! They're worshipping me, and they didn't bring anything? Do they not see me as a worthy god to be given their possessions?]

[Pupa: I sense nothing but pettiness here. Just say that you want to actually be worshipped by many people, right?]

[W—Well, I… uh…] 

Yunyu was tongue-tied immediately. He didn't want to debate with Pupa, knowing he would lose, so he tried to switch the topic;

[By the way, what's causing all this? I never made any grand entrance in the mortal realm for as long as I can remember. I was just living a regular life with Han Shun.]

[Pupa: I think the answer is in that small temple.]

Pupa pointed at one spot with its head, Yunyu turned to the left and saw a small temple with a young man sitting cross-legged inside, and many worshippers kneeled in front of him. As if he was some kind of powerful monk.

But what surprised Yunyu the most was his face. It was basically Han Min 2.0.

In fact, it looked like Han Min had reversed his age. Now he looked like the same ten-year-old kid Bai Yunyu saved from prostitution.

[Wait, how could Han Min suddenly become so young?]

[Pupa: That's probably his son, there is no way we're returning in time.]

Yunyu approached the kid, who closed his eyes. He thought the kid was sleeping, but then, Yunyu faintly heard the voice of him chanting something inaudible as if he was actually praying inside his heart. 

Thus, not wanting to disturb the whole ceremony and worship inside his temple, Yunyu waited until the young boy was done with the ceremony at dusk.

He descended the long stairs until he reached the main road again. 

As Yunyu expected, this Han Min 2.0 walked towards Yunyu's old mansion that had been passed down for Han Min and entered without knocking, showing that he was one of the families who lived there. 

Yunyu followed the young man who went to the courtyard where Han Shun lived before and then entered the bathroom.

Yunyu wanted to follow, but Pupa suddenly blocked his face with its metallic body.

[Ouch! Pupa! You hit me!]

[Pupa: You walked to my body, it's your fault.]

[Ugh, move now, I want to follow that kid!]

[Pupa: That's the bathroom, what do you even want to see in the bathroom?]

[Hehe, I mean… who knows that he might be uhm… doing something illegal in the bathroom? I just wanna check.]

[Pupa: He is like… fifteen years old! You filthy pedophile!]

Pupa smacked Yunyu's head with its body a few times until Yunyu had to concede. 

[Ouch! Ouch! Okay, I'm sorry! We will wait in his bedroom instead!]

Yunyu and Pupa passed through the wall like a ghost and sat at the edge of the bed, waiting for Han Min 2.0 to return. 

However, Chinchin, the chipmunk, wanted to play in his plum blossom tree, so he jumped out from Yunyu's shoulder and dashed to Yunyu's previous courtyard before leaving with Han Shun.

The young man dried himself after taking a bath, today was such a long day, and he was exhausted after sitting in the same position for 15 hours while chanting nonstop.

"Why would I worship that God anyway? He has never shown himself in front of me. How am I supposed to know if he is real?"
